  Which of the following represents the ratio of price elasticities of demand in the two markets? A) E2 = (21/29)E1

  C) E2 = E1
  D) E2 = (22/30)E1
  E) none of these

Question 2

Trisha believes the production of a dress requires 4 labor hours and 2 machine hours to produce. If Trisha decides to operate in the short run, she must spend 500 to lease her business space.
 
  Also, a labor hour costs 15 and a machine hour costs 35. What is Trisha's cost of production as a function of dresses produced?
